I believe the study of Kata is beyond learning a system of fighting techniques. A fighting skill alone doesn't create the realization that when a conflict happens the body and mind is at battle with it self. It is a mind set to confront the hesitation or doubt that may arise to react and deal the greatest harm to your opponent. The mental skill to overcome the fear that grips one in terror. Self mastery, awareness, the details of everything around when the conflict begins: the Kata inculcates how to achieve this. In sports martial arts one knows the boundaries and the probabilities that may incur, but in a conflict, no rules apply.
